UFC Sucks. Watching regular boxing.
I guarantee Antonio Tarver or Roy Jones Jr can beat the living shit out of any UFC competitor in a real fight.

First off the UFC is not a style. Martial artists with a wide variety of styles fight in it, but there is no specific UFC style. I also think a few of the wrestlers that have competed there (e.g. Dan Severn ) might take real offence at your "amateur" comment lol. But I will grant you that now they all seem to look kind of the same, and with all the bogus rules they added it has become a huge joke.
Anyway, back to your question. There are many hybrid martial arts out there. Shootfighting is one example. Its a mix of wrestling, kick or thai boxing and ju- jutsu. Very powerful matial art imo.
I know theres someting called shoot wrestling, and something called shoot boxing. Both of these are hybrids that include wrestling and boxing as far as i know. Another possibility is pitfighting, which should incorporate those two elements if Tank Abbot is anything to go by. Try and check those out and see if its what you are looking for.
As for the cage thing. Those are just the rules of that particular competition. It has little to do with the martial art itself. In UFC they chose the Octagon, as opposed to the classic boxing ring used in competitions like Pride and K1, because they felt that shape would give least advantage to any specific style. Thats before they turned it into a commercial sport of no value :)
Anyway, hope I helped a bit. If the examples i gave dont match what you are looking for, research "hybrid martial arts" on the net and you will get a ton of examples.
Good luck.
